About 9:20 p.m. on April 14, officers found Oliver Northup, 87, and his wife, 76-year-old Claudia Maupin, dead in a home in the 4000 block of Cowell Boulevard, in Davis.

Police were asked to visit the home after family members said they could not reach the couple.

Officers spotted signs of forced entry into the house, and started investigating.

Both victims were found stabbed.

Lt. Paul Doroshov, of the Davis Police Department, said the pair suffered major trauma, but would not elaborate further.

On Monday, Davis officers were assisted by the FBI, the California Department of Justice, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, the West Sacramento Police Department, and the Dixon Police Department in serving several search warrants related to the homicide case at a nearby house, also on Cowell Boulevard.

Investigators said they weren't seeking any other suspects.

"The feeling right now is that there is a lot of work to be done," said Darren Pytel, the assistant chief of Davis police. "We're still in the process of putting together the investigation. This one led in many different directions, and it's taken a tremendous time and work to put it all together."

Neighbor have feared for their safety since the double homicide.

"My wife especially -- she was very upset," said Peter Adolay, who lives three doors down from the slain couple. "In fact, we got an alarm system put in and all kinds of things just to make sure that we were safe also."

Davis residents told KCRA 3 they feel more at ease after the arrest.

"Just the fact that it's a teenager, it's hard to believe," neighbor Brian Cox said. "But there is some relief they're making headway on the investigation."

The last homicide in Davis occurred in October 2011.
